Professor to talk on Cuban life
Father Blase Bonpane, professor of Latin American Studies at Cal State, L.A., will speak at noon today in Founders Hall 133 on the current political and social situation in Cuba. He recently spent a month in Cuba by invitation of the Cuban government.
Father Bonpane went to Guatemala in 1966 as the head of the Cursillos de Capacitacion Social, an organization that drew international attention by virtue of its success in peasant organizations.
Students who worked in the program were called “Guerrillas of Peace” because of their nonviolent, educational programs among illiterate and desitute Indians.
In December, 1967, Father Bonpane was accused by the Guatemalan government of plotting an armed revolution. He and several others were expelled from the country.
Since his return from Guatemala, Father Bonpane has met with members of the State Department and Congress in hopes of changing the U.S. foreign policy in Latin America.

Parking violators faced with fines
Masterpiece in day
Some of USC's youngest students experiment with various malleable forms of art. Above, a girl makes animals of clay. Meanwhile, below, another girl works with wire, and a young man stands pondering the work of his partner. The junior art program, open to area children 6-11 years old, is supervised by Mrs. Mildred Taylor, associate professor of fine arts and taught by Mrs. Marilyn Cremer. The classes are held Saturdays.

Car-owning students and faculty members who have perfected the art of illegal parking on or near campus will soon be faced with a stiff new parking policy.
Cars blocking fire lanes and aisles will be towed away and other violations will result in fines and possible loss of parking privileges.
Introduced last spring by Norm Wilkie, ASSC vice-president, the new policy is a combination of suggestions on different systems. Dean of Students Paul Bloland, in conjunction with students, worked up the final policy over the summer. Elton Phillips, business manager, released the new schedule.
“The policy will be implemented to protect the rights of the students with parking permits who now find it nearly impossible to find a place to park,” Phillips said. “We also want to protect the student pedestrian,” he added, recalling some harrowing personal experiences on Hoover Street.
Phillips emphasized, “This is not a money-making effort on the part of the university. Every penny will go into the scholarship fund to benefit students. No group or individual will get a cut.”
All fines will be payable at the Bursar’s Office and the accumulating of funds will be transferred to the University Scholarship Funds on June 30 of each year.
A fine of $5 will be issued to drivers who park in incorrect areas, use an invalid parking permit, or fail to
display a properly affixed parking permit.
A fine of $8, plus the impounding of the car at 941 W. 35th St., is the penalty for parking in fire lanes or obstructing a fire hydrant. Parking in walkways or crosswalks, or having an unregistered vehicle (no record in the Department of Motor Vehicles, or out of state license) will result in the same penalty.
Drivers may reclaim impounded cars by paying the impound fee, properly identifying themselves and signing the release form.
Moving violations carry a fine of $5 and will be issued for speeding, driving in restricted areas, failing to stop for Campus Police or failing to observe stop signs.
Repeated violators will be reported, if additional action is deemed necessary.
Stolen and forged permits will be confiscated and the owner or operator subject to the loss of parking privileges on the campus for a designated period.
USC’s traffic and parking policy was enforced by the Los Angeles Police Department. However, several years ago the towing policy was revoked due to the tremendous inconvenience to students who had to go a considerable distance to reclaim their cars.
Parking enforcement will now be directed within the University community. A tow truck has been purchased second-hand, to impound cars on campus.

The story of the Mexican-American at USC is really that there is no story.
Ten Mexican-American students insist that must change.
The ten form the entire membership of United Mexican-American Students (UMAS) on campus. They like to recall that it was a mouse that roared.
“Numbers do not bother us,” said Dominick Rubalcava, publicity chairman of UMAS. “Strength is not the point. We are right, and that is what is important. The Mexican-American has been mistreated on this campus, and we intend to rectify that situation.”
Rubalcava and Miguel Delapena, president of UMAS, identify their group as “militant.” After one semester of existance on campus, they feel they are ready to move.
At an executive board meeting Monday, a letter was drafted to President Topping demanding the university support Ceasar Chavez and the Delano grape strikers.
“We want the university to quit buying California grapes,” Rubalcava said. “We’re sure that the university is using grapes now only because of an oversight.”
The overall purpose of the group, Delapena said, “is to make the Mexican-American student and the university sensitive to the needs of the people of the community.”
UMAS has established three standing committees to help further than purpose. Two concentrate on raising money to help Mexican-American students with tuition and on addition of a course on Mexican-American history to the curriculum.
The other is known as the “confrontation” committee.
“The committee will help organize demonstrations both on and off campus,” Delapena said.
The committee has already taken part in demonstrations in support of Sal Castro, a teacher at Lincoln High School suspended for his part in demonstrations at Lincoln last year.
“There is a great deal of resentment in the community over the Castro matter,” Delapena said.
Rubalcava and Delapena talked of an “establishment conspiracy” to keep Mexican-Americans from gaining responsible leadership in the school system.
“The grand jury indictments and the manner in which the situation is being handled is obscuring the real issue of educational reform,” said Rubalcava.
“It is a trick of the establishment. They confuse issues with personalities.”
“We feel confident,” Rubalcava said. “We have several transfer students'from other campuses who have been active in UMAS work. We know what we’re doing.”
UMAS plans to dig up pertinent facts on Mexican-Americans at USC and present the facts to the administration as proof that persons of Mexican descent are ignored by the university.
SDS FAVORS YAF RECOGNITION
The Students for a Democratic Society have publicly endorsed the attempt of the Young Americans for Freedom to receive official recognition on campus. The group stated it will provide YAF with either signatures or members.
Also discussed at the first SDS meeting, attended by about 50 people, was the proposal that SDS form an alliance with the Black Student Union. The group tentatively decided against this action.
The group chose rather to focus on the issues of the draft and the war in Vietnam. It was agreed that SDS would be action oriented Jnd would not seek to receive common acceptance.
The next meeting of SDS will be Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the main lounge of the Religious Center.
Zeta Beta Tau fraternity led fall rush by pledging 34 of the 503 men who joined the (’.reek system.
Kappa Sigma and Phi Gamma Delta each pledged 26. Lamda Chi Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon each had 25.
The record for fall rush is 514, set in 1966. Pat Ryan, assistant dean of men for fraternity affairs, said. “The houses were not skewed as wildly as in the past. The ‘big’ houses did not get as many men and the ‘small’ houses got more men.
“Small and large are no longer valid terms in referring to actual membership. They still have a meaning as far as social reputation, however.”
The other new membership figures are:
Alpha Epsilon Pi, 16; Alpha Pho Chi, 11; Alpha Tau Omega. 14; Beta Theta Pi, 21; Chi Phi, 11; Delta Chi, 15; Delta Sigma Phi. 17; Delta Tau Delta, 23.
Kappa Alpha Order. 21; Kappa Alpha Psi, 7: Phi Delta Theta. 21; Phi
Kappa Psi. 21: Phi Kappa Tau, 16; Phi Sigma Delta, 15; Pi Kappa Alpha, 18; Sigma Alpha Mu, 19.
Sigma Nu, 16; Sigma Chi, 23; Sigma Phi Delta, 5; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 18; Tau Epsilon Phi, 14; Tau Kappa Epsilon. 11; Theta Xi. 13; Theta Chi, 5.
THIRTEEN IN FROSH CONTEST
Ten men and three women will run for freshman class representative. Campaigning began last night at 7 p.m.
Candidates include Michael Drakolich, Mindi Evans, Barbara Felts, Robert Fredricks, John Johnson, Daniel Levin, Ronald Paimieri, James Marmorstone, Cynthia Pennick; Dan Polier, Richard Ressel, Mark Spitzer, and Jeffery Ullman.
Crisis at Mexican campus eases
MEXICO CITY (UPI)-The last contingents of Mexican army troops yesterday withdrew from the National University campus, site of most Olympic Games activities, after 12 days of occupation that sparked gunbattles and street brawls between student rebels and police.
The caretaker force of about 500 soldiers left the huge campus at 12:30 p.m. Control was officially turned over to university officials ending the first occupation of university grounds in Mexican history.
The withdrawal came as student rebel leaders and government officials appeared to be reaching a working truce that would ensure relative calm for the Olympic Games, which start Oct. 12. One of the remaining student demands was that the troops get off their campus.
The Mexican government sent 10,000 troops in armored convoys
into the campus Sept. 18 and on the campus harbored “anti-social” elements and potential criminals.
It Sciid orderly conduct of the games was threatened.
The troops forced student rebels out of buildings they had been occupying since July at bayonet point. But the army move escalated the student rebellion, which had quieted down after July and August riots.
At one point last week, an estimated 3,000 students barricaded themselves inside the cross-town Polytechnic Institute campus and fought a 9-hour gun battle with 1,500 police. Official counts, believed by many to be very conservative, said at least seven persons were killed and dozens injured in various brawls and gunfights last week.
Witnesses said yesterday’s withdrawal was orderly and that no student protest leaders returned to campus in the immediate aftermath.
The university campus houses the
Olympic Stadium. Olympic Village itself is about a mile away.
Throughout the latest confrontation, various student leaders denied their protest was aimed at disrupting the games, although they conceded that could be a side effect. The government said it had direct information that some agitators intended to lead protests against the games.
Earlier yesterday, women in mourning led a crowd of 5,000 persons in a “march of the mothers” on the Mexican Chamber of Deputies.
They intended to present a petition demanding immediate release of students jailed during the upheavals of the past 12 days.
RYAN RESIGNS AS FRAT DEAN
Pat Ryan, assistant dean of men for fraternity affairs, will leave Friday to become alumni director of Lamda Chi Alpha fraternity.
Ryan will be replaced by Hans Reichl, 30, former national field secretary for Lamda Chi Alpha and former head resident at the University of Washington.
Reichl, who has a master's degree from the University of Washington, was president of his chapter and IFC president. He will take the post in October.
